Given a string of numbers, you can interpolate basic operations (+, -, * and /) to create an equation that can be evaluated using simple math. Given a string of numbers and a value, write a method that prints all of the equations that can be generated using that string that evaluate to the given value. ex- f("323",3) will print out "3 * 2 - 3"
